With the exception of my addiction to sex, I was able to break free from my addictions through hitting rock bottom, returning to society and becoming indifferent to my former targets. I became a believer in the &#8220;bottomed out&#8221; approach, which involves pouring all of one&#8217;s money, time, and physical energy into facing one&#8217;s addiction head on. I believed that this approach would work for overcoming my final addiction, and by October of 2021, I had converted to this &#8220;bottomed out&#8221; approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I devoted all of my energy to pursuing my own methodology, based on my own experience, and aimed for the final destination of &#8220;bottoming out.&#8221; I locked myself in the Kabukicho entertainment district, doing as I pleased, and felt that even if I barely survived, it would be better than nothing. However, this way of thinking itself was foolish, reckless, and perhaps even a biological, fundamental instinct of a male to contain the addiction of sex. It was inappropriate to believe that I could overcome this addiction by sheer force. Ultimately, my last addiction felt like a bottomless swamp, with the bottom seemingly far away, or maybe the concept of a bottom was not appropriate at all. I was drawn to a fleeting desire for a state of being that didn&#8217;t exist. Such endless delusions and intense desires are surely a type of mental illness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But, fortunately, I was able to avoid a complete mental breakdown and loss of willpower that would have led to homelessness and instead interacted with young people without developing fatal troubles. I must have been lucky. Although I didn&#8217;t reach the sensation of bottoming out, I was left with a feeling of &#8220;I&#8217;ve had enough.&#8221; I continued to run through the night streets in search of the orgasm of my heart, even as I suffered from prostatitis and almost collapsed from exhaustion. This was like continuously stepping on the accelerator pedal, even as the engine burned out in a car. The feeling still smolders deep inside me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"538\" src=\"https:\/\/stallion.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_5748-800x538.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1251\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stallion.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_5748-800x538.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/www.stallion.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_5748-300x202.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.stallion.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_5748-768x517.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.stallion.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_5748.jpeg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bottomed Out I spiraled down a path of addiction, starting with gambling and progressing to addiction to Filip &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stallion.jp\/index.php\/2023\/04\/28\/bottomed-out\/\" class=\"more-link\">\u7d9a\u304d\u3092\u8aad\u3080 <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Bottomed Out<\/span> <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1250","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-whisper"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stallion.jp\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1250","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stallion.jp\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stallion.jp\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stallion.jp\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stallion.jp\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1250"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.stallion.jp\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1250\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1291,"href":"https:\/\/www.stallion.jp\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1250\/revisions\/1291"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stallion.jp\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1250"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stallion.jp\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1250"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stallion.jp\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1250"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
